Butterburs of Mt. Asahidake !

by Kazu

The hillside of Mt. Asahidake was still covered with snow with black dots of sand and soil. The shade kept the snow in the lower area on the hillside.

The water flow under the snow melt down the snow from the lower side. Butterbur shoots appeared beside the water flow under the snow.  

I've never heard of the brown bears strolling around the hotel area of Mt. Asahidake but the buterbur shoots must be the favorites of the brown bears in Hokkaido.
